Non-Microsoft ODBC data source connection in Power BI Report Builder

There doesn't appear to be the ability to connect to an ODBC DSN for another database such as Sybase, etc.  such as we can for Power BI Desktop.

 

Choosing Enter Data in the dropdown, and typing in a manual string doesn't allow any continuance.

 

Am I missing something?

@CLEARIFY ,

 

You may use XMAL connector instead. In data source section select Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services provider.
